Abstract :
Portable computer designers are constantly being challenged with new technologies to obtain higher performance and longer battery life. This paper will discuss aspects of partitioning with battery management functions in portable computer systems to obtain extended battery life without sacrificing system performance. The system designer must consider different system architectural aspects when reviewing what features can be supported and still stay within the budgets for power consumption, space, weight, battery life, and cost
